IndieWire includes Tenet in the best picture race for 2021
It really is too early to predict what will be in contention for the Oscars when they hit our screens, albeit later than usual, on 25 April 2021. We don’t even know if Tenet will be released in August (it’s looking less likely given further lockdowns being predicted in the US). Nonetheless, IndieWire has decided to list films they believe may be in contention and, of course, Tenet was included:
The director follows up “Dunkirk†with a time-twisting thriller that took a year to write. Filmed on location (in 70mm and IMAX) with cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema in Denmark, Estonia, India, Italy, Norway, the United Kingdom, and United States, the $225-million epic stars John David Washington as an operative of the organization Tenet who tries to prevent World War III, along with Robert Pattinson, Michael Caine, and Kenneth Branagh as a Russian oligarch; his ex-wife is Elizabeth Debicki. Jennifer Lame took over for usual Nolan editor Lee Smith. And during lockdown, composer Ludwig Göransson recorded musicians at their homes.
